Evan Fiore
About Evan...
Howdy! I’m Evan Anthony Fiore. I’m a singer/songwriter from Denham Springs, LA. I was originally born & raised in New Orleans. I’m the lead singer & guitar player in a rock n’ roll band called Evan & the Riverlites; we put out a record in May ‘21 entitled “A View on the Flip Side” that we produced & engineered ourselves. More recently, I’ve been embarking on a solo endeavor under the name Evan Anthony. I’m working on a solo record as we speak & I just released a single entitled “Harvest (September’s Finally Here!)”. My bass player Luke Hargus & I produce our all of our music. All of my music is available for streaming. If you catch me jamming solo or w/ other players, don’t be surprised to see me playing a piano, autoharp, egg shaker or mandolin- I can’t sit still & I like to shake things up!

Surrounded by music her entire life, Ashton grew up singing in her small country church beginning at a very young age. Her gospel roots have strongly influenced her life and her music.

Jay Megginson
About Jay...
Jay Megginson is a singer/songwriter based out of Fairhope, AL. A self-described "late bloomer," he didn't get serious about music until he was 50 years old. He combines a soulful, raspy voice with a minimalistic guitar style writing songs about love, rednecks, tractors, and Jesus with a tongue-in-cheek sensibility so as to not get too serious as singer-songwriters often do. Jay has recorded an EP entitled "Road" and is currently working on a full-length CD entitled "Sunday Morning Sinners."
Steve Judice
About Steve...
Steve Judice is a natural born poet from Louisiana with five full length albums of original songs to his credit. He has toured extensively throughout the south and has had the honor of sharing stages with songwriting legends including Guy Clark, Billy Joe Shaver, and Rodney Crowell. Three of his songs were included in the full length feature film, "Race to Win." He was recently recognized by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities as a Louisiana Tradition Bearer.
